Celebrity Baby Blog / Wes Chatham

After welcoming their first child on Nov. 24, actor Wes Chatham and television host Jenn Brown are introducing their son in a series of sweet family photos.

Although the couple are in complete baby bliss, parenthood began with a bumpy start after the NFL Network and American Ninja Warriorhost, 33, went into labor five and a half weeks weeks ahead of her New Year’s Eve due date — with Chatham, 36, stuck in Canada.

“Unfortunately, Wes was on an airplane when Nash was born,” Brown, who wore her Posh Mommy necklace during the shoot, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We really hoped he was going to make it, but, again, Nash had other plans.”

Now 10 weeks into life with their baby boy, the new parents opened up to PEOPLE about everything from the early delivery and breastfeeding to late night feedings and their son’s name.

As they made their way into the baby bash, which was hosted by Good Carma Studio, guests were greeted by chalkboards adorned with fitting phrases like, “Welcome y’all,” and “Yes, Ma’am.”

Touches of blue, peach and sage green were used to decorate the party space, including several arrangements of moss elephants with roses and hydrangeas from The Bashful Rose, a Stride Rite shoe tower allowing the American Ninja Warrior host to browse her favorite boy styles and a colorful candy bar.
